In Memory of Shelby: Aid for Her Family

Donation protected
I never wanted to make one of these. My family needs help from friends, family, and the community. I am Trena, and I am making this for my brother Chris and his sweet family. Shelby- my sister in law, my brother's wife, and the mother to my nephews has passed away on 8/22/25 at 6:25 pm. They have three amazing boys together, ages 7, 5, and 1. This was a completely unexpected loss. We are so devastated. Shelby went into the hospital for a migraine that turned into brain surgery. They found she had an infection in her blood. She fought as hard as she could. She is now in heaven and no longer in pain. I am making the go fund me page to help my brother with funeral expenses, medical bills, and additional bills that never stop while he is out of work right now. Shelby did not have life insurance; she was denied due to having a pre-existing heart condition. She loved being a mother to her sons. She made her house a home. Her boys miss her very much. We all miss her very much. If you can donate anything, we would greatly appreciate it. It truly wasn't fair what happened to Shelby, and I wish we had more time with her. I am hoping that with this fund that my brother will not have to worry so much about the finances, and he will be able to truly grieve. We loved you so much, Shelby. I am so proud of my brother. He has had so much grace and strength through this incomprehensible situation. This was something I never imagined we would go through. I have made posts with my brothers, Cash App, Venmo, and Zelle on my Facebook page. I have had requests to create a GoFundMe. Anyway you want to donate goes to a fund to help Chris with these costs. Thank you to everyone who has donated already, and I hope you know how much that means to him and our family! Thank you all!
